As far as horse power there are so many settings for this engine that the RPMs & the rack setting would have to be determined to even establish what it is. My old Cat fuel injection book has a 1/2 page of different settings for that particular engine. AS far as a parts book the old D8 2U tractor had the same basic engine so most parts are all the same except a few minor differences.

Try Roland Machinery at 800-765-2635 and tell them that you want Ray Heffernaum to contact you. Roland Machinery is a Komatsu Dealer but they also sell Pyramid Parts. Pyramid crane chain cost a little more than the competitors but it's the best drive chain made..it's built heavier/beefier than than anybody elses. Once Pyramid chain is installed they'll be no more breaking pins or links.

Hi all , Brought my engine into a shop where i can work on it at night or during
bad weather , I had pulled the heads off this engine last summer while it was still in the shovel , I thought that I just had a stuck engine caused by water going down the exhaust , As it turns out there is a little more to it than that !!
I disconnected 3 connecting rods and pulled 3 sleeves pistons intact ,
Apparently someone had tried to turn this engine over with I believe water in cylinder As I found # 4 con rod severely bent ,and about a two inch chip out of the bottom of the sleeve ,the good news is the crank journals appear to be OK ,
I will try to pull the remaining 3 tomorrow .
I am starting to think I know how paso chris feels !!
